Chandan Bala Lakshadi Tel - #6753
I came across Chandan Bala Lakshadi Tel when looking for solutions to my baby’s dry skin. Has anyone used Chandan Bala Lakshadi Tel for infants, and is it really safe? My baby has sensitive skin, and it gets dry and flaky, especially during winter. I read that Chandan Bala Lakshadi Tel is calming and helps with dryness. Does it also work for itchiness? I don’t want to use anything harsh, and Chandan Bala Lakshadi Tel being Ayurvedic seems like a good choice. Is there a specific way to apply it for the best results? Also, does Chandan Bala Lakshadi Tel have a strong smell? I’m asking because my baby reacts to strong scents. If you’ve used Chandan Bala Lakshadi Tel, how long did it take to see a difference in skin texture?

Doctors’ responses
Chandan Bala Lakshadi Tel is a traditional Ayurvedic oil that can be very soothing for babies with dry, sensitive skin. It contains ingredients like sandalwood (chandan), which has cooling and calming properties, and other herbs that help nourish and hydrate the skin. It is generally considered safe for infants when used in appropriate amounts, as it is formulated to be gentle. This oil can help reduce dryness, flakiness, and mild itchiness by providing deep moisture and soothing the skin.
To apply, gently massage a small amount of the oil onto your baby’s skin, preferably after a warm bath when the skin is still damp to lock in moisture. The oil does have a mild, natural fragrance due to sandalwood, but it is usually not overpowering. However, if your baby is sensitive to scents, you can patch test it on a small area first to check for any reactions. Results vary, but typically, you may start seeing improvements in skin texture and hydration within a few days to a week with consistent use. Always ensure that the oil is from a trusted, authentic Ayurvedic brand and consult with a pediatrician if you have any concerns.

Chandan Bala Lakshadi Tel can actually be a gentle remedy for combating dry skin in infants, especilly if their skin tends to be sensitive. So, you’re on the right track considering it. Due to its Ayurvedic formulation, it’s less likely to contain harsh chemicals. It’s moslty celebrated for its cooling properties, thanks to Chandan (sandalwood) and that can soothe irritations and minor itchiness too.
Firstly, let’s address the safety angle. When using it for the first time, always (seriously, always!) perform a patch test on your baby’s skin. Apply a small amount of the oil on a tiny area, like behind the ear or on the arm, and observe for any signs of redness or reactions within 24 hours. If everything looks good, you’re probably safe to use it.
When applying, you’d want to take a few drops and massage it gently onto the baby’s skin, focusing on flaky or dry areas. A light massage will help it absorb better and improve circulation too. Doing this maybe once or twice a day can help keep their skin nourished. Just make sure the room isn’t too cold during application as oils work best when the body is warm!
The scent? Chandan Bala Lakshadi Tel has a mild, natural aroma, since it’s mainly herbal ingredients. It’s usually not overpowering, but since every baby can react differently, it might be worth introducing it gradually to see how your baby responds to the scent.
As for results, you might start seeing improvement within a few days—a week. The skin feels softer, and the dryness hopefully reduces noticeably, though complete transformation might take a bit longer depending on how dry the skin is initially. Always ensure you’re using the genuine product to get the best benefits. If your baby’s skin happens to get worse or show any adverse signs, stop use and maybe chat with a pediatrician or an Ayurvedic practitioner. Remember, while Ayurveda has many incredible offerings, each baby’s unique and might respond differently!
